Carly: Yeah. Come sit by me. I could use a
little cuddle. So, how are you feeling? Did you get a nap?

Parker: No. I tried, but I kept thinking
about that lady and the boy.

Carly: That's okay. You've been a real champ
lately. How 'bout I go in the kitchen and I get you something gooey and sweet?

Parker: Really? Before dinner?

Carly: Mm, it'll be our secret.

Parker: I'm sorry I can't find Jack anymore.

Carly: Oh, honey -- don't be. I'm the one who
should be sorry.

Parker: Why?

Carly: Well, you shared a very special
connection to Jack and I pushed you to use it. I think I was being a little bit
selfish.

Parker: I didn't mind.

Carly: But it was too much for you. I got
very scared when you fainted like that.

Parker: I'm sorry, Mommy.

Carly: Oh sweetie -- let's make a deal, okay?
Let's just put a freeze on the phrase "I知 sorry." What do you think? Okay, and
speaking of freeze, why don't I go and get that cherry ice cream that you like
and I'll put chocolate and nuts and bananas all over it. What do you think?

Parker: Yeah.

Carly: All right, you scoot upstairs and I値l
bring it up to you, okay? I think it's time to put you two away -- for good.

[Carly puts the drawing of Julia and her son
in the desk.]

[Julia remembering]

Carly: I'm sorry.

Parker's been going through a lot. He lost
somebody very important to him.

Julia: I'm sorry to hear that. Don't worry
about it. You have such beautiful children.

Carly: Yeah? Thanks. Sage here I think has a
smile just like her daddy.

Jack: What's a guy gotta do to get a bowl of
ice cream around here?

Lucy: You can hang around out a little while
longer, right? Dusty should be back any minute.

Ethan: You got anything else to eat?

Lucy: I'll see what I can do. Hey. What
happened when you went to the gym?

Dusty: I must have looked at half a dozen
flyweights. No luck.

Lucy: Well, then, it's a good thing you have
me. Meet your new fighter. Ethan Cobb.

Dusty: You a flyweight?

Ethan: Depends on my last meal.

Dusty: Where you find this guy?

Lucy: The internet.

Alison: Chris, it's your turn. You're
supposed to say something.

Tom: Nerves -- brother, do me a favor -- if
you feel like you're gonna pass out, would you fall the other way?

[Light laughter]

Reverend: Your reply is "I do." I'll repeat
the question. Do you, Christopher Hughes, take Alison Stewart to love and to
honor --?

Chris: I'm sorry, I知 sorry.

Alison: No, it's okay. You just have to let
him finish the question.

Chris: Alison -- this isn't what I wanted.

Alison: Chris, you didn't mess up. And I
thought I was nervous.

Chris: No, you don't understand. I did mess
up. And if we go through with this, I'm gonna mess up your life even more.

[Doorbell rings]

Rosanna: Hi.

Carly: Hi, Rosanna.

Rosanna: I'm back.

Carly: Yeah, is everything all right?

Rosanna: Yes and no. I couldn't stop thinking
about what you're going through. And, obviously, Emma couldn't either, because
when I got home, I found this plate of cookies with a little note asking me to
please bring them to you.

Carly: Oh, that's sweet. You didn't have to
come all the way back over here.

Rosanna: Well, yes, I did. Because I hate you
thinking that you're not allowed to hope anymore.

Carly: I'm not giving up hope. I'm just gonna
stop this search for Jack.

Rosanna: Is there a difference? Carly, I
don't mean to upset you, but you haven't put this sketch away. That means you're
having second thoughts.

Carly: What if Jack really is with that woman
and that little boy?

Rosanna: Then it would be a shame not to
circulate that picture as much as possible. We could take it to Lucinda and have
her to publish it.

Carly: I can't do that. I'd get 900 crank
phone calls. Or worse, some nutcase would come up on my doorstep again. How do I
justify doing that to Parker? To myself?

Rosanna: Do you remember when Cabot was taken
away from me the first time? And everybody told me that I should give up looking
for him. And I couldn't, because every moment without him was painful, so I kept
trying.

Carly: I know.

Rosanna: And I searched and I searched until
I found him. And that moment when I had him in my arms -- we both knew that I
was been right to not to give up looking. And even though things ended in the
horrible way that they did, having my child back for just a little while was
worth every moment that I spent searching for him. And it's the same with you
and Jack. You have to keep looking.

Carly: And Parker?

Rosanna: Well, we'll just keep him out of it.
He's a child, he should be protected. But as long as you have one shred of
evidence, you can't give up.

Julia: I keep dropping things. I don't know
what's wrong with me.

Jack: Well, maybe some leftover nerves from
the wedding. It's not every day you get married.

Julia: Or your ex shows up.

Jack: Listen, I took a vow this afternoon to
love and honor you. That means I知 not gonna let anything bad happen to you.
What is going on? I'll keep you safe, you and J.J. both. I just hope that I can
be as good a Dad as you are a Mom.

Julia: You're already a great Dad.

Jack: Yeah, well, being there for him feels
natural. You and J.J., you just feel right to me, that's all. What -- hey,
you're not having buyer's remorse already, are you? I mean --

Julia: No. I'm sorry, no. It's not you,
honey. I just -- I just keep worrying, I can't stop --

Jack: About what?

Julia: Same old thing. You know, about your
past.

Jack: Come on, I'm a clean slate, remember?
The only thing Jack Jackson has now is a bright future with his wife and little
boy. Honey, we're a family now.

Julia: But what if there's another family,
Jack? What if there's another family that you don't remember?

Reverend: Perhaps the couple would like to
talk in private. You can use the anteroom.

Bob: That's a good idea.

Chris: Whatever Alison wants.

Alison: I want to get married! I want to --
no, I need to talk! I need to understand why!

Emily: I'll go with you, sweetie.

Alison: No, I need to talk alone!

Aaron: Don't even bother talking to her
unless you finally tell her the truth. She deserves it.

Chris: Alison, if you want to hit me, go
ahead.

Alison: I just want to know the truth, Chris.
I need to know why. Is there someone else?

Carly: Parker is so fragile right now, so
exhausted from looking for Jack. When he collapsed like that, that really shook
me up, you know? And I'm afraid -- I'm afraid if there's just one more thing, he
might break.

Rosanna: Well, maybe it's the not knowing
that's the most difficult for him.

Carly: Oh, I think it is. But how do I
reassure him. He asks me every day if I think we'll ever see Jack again. He
tells me that he feels him moving farther and farther away, and he's worried
that I'm not doing enough to bring him home. Well, how long do I push and search
and hope? How do I know when it's time to give up? How do I find that balance?

Rosanna: Well, maybe balance is overrated.
Maybe you have to go out on a limb to find the thing that you're looking for.
You know, it's like that sketch though that you haven't put away. There's
something inside you that isn't ready to give up. Because if you give up now,
you're going to wonder. For the rest of your life, you're gonna wonder and
regret. And how is that going to be for a sensitive child like Parker to deal
with?

Carly: Hell. For him to know that his mother
thinks that Jack is still out there, that believes that he might come home.

Rosanna: And isn't doing anything about it.
And he'll feel for the rest of his life that something isn't right.

Carly: Thank you I'm glad you came back. And
will you do me a favor and just watch those little kids for me? While I bring
this sketch to Lucinda.

Rosanna: Yeah, don't think twice about it.

Carly: Okay.

Jack: Julia, we've worked through this
already, haven't we? I mean, why would I go back to a wife who tried to kill me?

Julia: You know, Jack, the mind can play
tricks. Maybe that wasn't the whole memory. I mean --

Jack: Who plays third on J.J.'s little league
team? Third base, hot corner? Third base? Corey Baker. He told you that last
week. You see, nobody remembers everything. As far as I'm concerned, I致e
settled the question of my former wife once and for all.

Julia: Hey, what if you were married more
than one time, Jack? It's possible. Are you sure that you don't have any
memories of, you know, family?

Jack: You know, one does spring to mind -- a
beautiful, persistent brunette with a son about, oh, yah high. Yeah, we all
dance together at this fabulous wedding. You and J.J., you're my family now. The
only one I remember, the only one I want.

Julia: I love you.

Jack: I love you.

Julia: And he does, too, so much. Which is
why it would be really hard if someone showed up at the door and --

Emily: Margo. Chris and I -- I壇 like to say
we're over, but you know what? It never really existed, so I can't. I love my
husband. I adore him. You've got to believe that.

Margo: It doesn't matter what I believe. What
about Chris? Does he think that ending it with Alison opens the field for the
two of you?

Emily: He couldn稚.

Margo: How do you know? You couldn't have
predicted what he did up there on the altar. How do you know that he's not back
there right now telling Alison that he wants to be with you?

Alison: Who?

Chris: It doesn't matter.

Alison: It matters to me! I deserve to know
who wrecked our marriage before it even started!

Chris: That -- that's not what I知 trying to
make you understand, okay? This person, she wasn't responsible for what
happened.

Alison: She broke us up!

Chris: No, Alison, I did, okay? I try to make
it work, but I couldn't.

Alison: Will you just tell me the slut's
name!

Chris: Look, don't call her that, please?

Alison: How can you stand there and defend
the woman you cheated on me with?

Chris: Ali, we never slept together, okay? We
never crossed that line. We --

Alison: How can you be in love with someone
you never even slept with?

Chris: We didn't plan on falling in love,
okay? We didn't plan on doing anything, but it wasn't her fault. So please --
please don't blame her.

Emily: You told her?

Alison: Oh, my God, it's you. Chris is in
love with you!

Announcer: Coming up on "As the World Turns"
--

Rosanna: Are you gonna go find the sketch
artist?

Carly: No, but I know what I have to do now.

Dusty: There's a lot about this business that
you don't understand yet.

Lucy: He's fantastic. What am I missing?

Emily: Alison, listen to me, honey.

Alison: You're the reason that he won't marry
me?

Chris: Alison, we never meant to hurt you.

Alison: Oh, what a load of bull!

Emily: No, just -- would you let me talk,
okay? Nothing happened between me and Chris.

Alison: Spare me! All those times that I
thought you two were planning some surprise for my wedding -- well, I guess I
got it, didn't I?

Emily: No, honey, it wasn't like that. It
wasn't like that.

Alison: Emily, you helped me get ready this
morning. You said all of those incredible things, and then you stood there next
to me, knowing that he was gonna ditch me!

Emily: No, I didn't know that. I swear. I
begged him not to mention this.

Alison: You begged him?! So you two talked
about me behind my back?! What were you doing? What were you doing, laughing
about how clueless I was? "Break it to her gently, Chris. You know how -- how
fragile she is, how unstable she is!"

Chris: Alison, your sister loves you. I --

Alison: In what universe?!

Emily: Please, Chris, let us talk. Ali and I
need to talk this through.

Alison: I don't have anything to talk about
with either of you ever again.

Susan: Is everything all right?

Alison: No!

Emily: Alison, please, just --

Alison: Don't you touch me! Everybody just
stay away from me!

Emily: Alison -- Alison, wait.

Lucinda: Hi. Has anyone seen Lucy Montgomery
this evening?

Jordan: Hi, Jennifer. How are you?

Jennifer: Fine.

Jordan: I was hoping maybe we could talk for
a minute.

Jennifer: About what? We've already said
everything and then some.

Jordan: Jen, we loved each other. Doesn't
that mean anything to you? If you think I知 just gonna let this all fall apart,
you're wrong? I'm not gonna do that.

Jennifer: You don't get the last word on
this, Jordan. Sorry. I love this song. Let's dance.

Mike: Okay.

Jordan: That went well.

Nikki: If you're looking for sympathy, call
your shrink, okay? As far as I'm concerned, you blew it big time.

Jordan: Right. Thanks for the support.

Lucinda: I'd ask you to dance, but tongues
might wag. Should I buy you a drink instead?

Rosanna: Hey. What happened?

Carly: The sketch just -- it just blew right
out of my hands. I tried to chase after it, but I -- it's like everything I do,
every lead I have just flies away, just like that sketch.

Rosanna: Come on, now. Don't read too much
into it. We'll just call the sketch artist and have her make you another.

Carly: No, I think maybe this is some kind of
sign. You know, maybe the universe is telling me to back off.

Parker: I can't sleep.

Carly: Oh, why don't you go up and pick out a
book, and I'll come up and read it to you, okay? What's that?

Parker: Jack's compass. I don't need it
anymore.

Rosanna: What is it?

Carly: Oh, would you mind reading to Parker?

Rosanna: No, not at all, not at all. You're
gonna go find the sketch artist?

Carly: No, but I know what I have to do now.

Jack: That's more like it. What? Julia,
you've got to talk to me. What's got you spooked all of the sudden?

Julia: You know, I think I've lived in fear
for so long, and it's just gotten to be second nature.

Jack: Yeah, I know, I know, but you're just
gonna have to learn to live without it. I kicked your ex out so he wouldn't hurt
you and J.J. anymore, and as long as I've got breath in my body -- let me tell
you something -- you don't have to worry about him or anybody else. You don't
have to worry about anything.

Julia: We don't really know that, Jack, until
you get your memory back completely.

Jack: Well, you know, who's the one who has
amnesia here, 'cause obviously, you're forgetting that this is our wedding
night, little miss happy. Now, as much as I like ice cream -- I love ice cream
-- but I want you back in the bedroom while we still have the house to
ourselves. Come on!

Alison: I'm not staying here, but I sure as
hell am not going anywhere with you.

Carly: Hey, g-man. It's me.

Carly: Hi. You were my true north, g-man. No
matter how far astray we wandered, we always managed to find our way back to
each other. This little compass always did its job, didn't it? But you know why
I came out here? I was gonna throw it in the river. I thought maybe somehow, you
would find it and use it to come back to Parker and Sage and me. But I can't let
it go. It was a crazy idea anyway, right? I mean, what are the chances of you
finding it, huh? But it doesn't matter, because even without it, I know deep in
my heart that somehow, someway you will find your way home.
